Updated February 7, 2010 Helping find Missing Parsis
and Zoroastrians 220 cases posted, 120 solved! Over one in two missing Parsi cases referred to us gets solved! Hi and welcome to TheMissingParsi.com My name is Ader Gandi and I live in San Francisco, California, USA. My email address is Ader@Gandi.com and AderGandi@gmail.com. I, along with Yazdi Tantra in Bombay, started TheMissingParsi.com on October 1st. 2005. Our idea behind the TheMissingParsi.com is simple: use the power of the Internet to help fellow Parsis and Zoroastrians connect with people they have lost touch with. This idea came to me as a result of the many requests from fellow Parsis all over the world who would ask if I knew of someone they used to know, who they had since lost touch with, and could I help them find the person. I would get these requests because I am the founder of www.TheParsiChronicle.com which is visited by 300 people daily. You can write me an email at Ader@Gandi.com providing me with the details of the missing Parsi in your life. The more detail you provide, the more chances of finding the person: their approximate age, how and where you knew them from, their married and maiden names, when and where you had last contact with them, joint friends you knew, etc. PLEASE ADD "MISSING PARSI" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL, OTHERWISE YOUR EMAIL MAY NEVER REACH ME. I will post your email on this web site, which is now being read by 100 Parsis daily. Hopefully one of them will know the whereabouts of your missing Parsi and will respond directly to you or to me. To see our current listing of missing Parsis, click here. I welcome your comments and suggestions. You can subscribe
to future news about Parsis and Zoroastrians by emailing
Ader@Gandi.com
with the words subscribe to the Parsi Chronicle in the subject line.

I moved to Islamabad, Pakistan a couple of years ago. I am trying to find Katy Doctor who lives in Mumbai. She used to live at Chinoy Mansion, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Bombay 400036. I have been trying to find her since the tragic December fire in Mumbai. I was able to contact my cousin Farida Ardeshir and she and her family were okay. However, the telephone number that Farida gave for Katy just kept ringing and no one answered. Farida also told me that Katy had moved from the Chinoy Mansions to a flat at the Parsi General Hospital which is just near the Chinoy Mansions. I have called Farida again but was able to get no more news regarding Katy. Katy must be 60ish and has a jolly personality. I have had friends in Mumbai call the number that I have for Katy to no avail. The number that I have for Katy Doctor is 9321070XXXX and believe it is a cell phone. Can you please help me to find Katy. I keep thinking of her and my instinct tells me that she is not well. I am going to think positively and hope to hear good news from you. God Bless.

He was probably born in the same year as I – 1945. Is there any way I can find out where he is and whether I can get in contact with him after all this time. I was often in his home in Ooty (in 1958). We played cricket together and his family were very, very kind to me. I would be very appreciative if there was any way of finding out about my boyhood friend. Warm regards, David. If you have any info, please write directly to and copy AderGandi@Gmail.com so it can be recorded as a solved case. Thank you.

They both passed away in the mid 1940s. On Jerbanoo’s side, I understand she had 1 brother, Behramji and 2 sisters, Banoo and Pirojbai. Behramji married Goolbai. Banoo married Darab Jojina and Pirojbai married Jamshed someone. I am looking for any relatives of these people. On Shapoorjee’s side, I know he had 2 brothers, Phiroshaw and Sorabjiee and 1 sister, Giamai. Phiroshaw married Dinama, then Rattimai and had a son. Phirozshaw was in Bandicoi with Shapoorjee where he ran a tavern. Eventually both families left Badicoi for Allahabad. Phirozshaw is buried in Allabahd. Gaimai married Sorabjee. And Sorabjee married Aiamai. I have a LOT of info about Shaporjee and Jerbanoo’s children.. but am really after info about their siblings. Please email zappoo@zip.com.au if any of these names sound familiar. I figure that Harver must not be a very common parsi name? Thank you!

or 1960. That will make her aroud 50 Yrs or so.
She was in college around 1978-80. She uesd to hang
with Agnes Gomes, Lucy, Dewlyn, Blossum etc. I think
she stayed in Colaba , Mumbai then. Perhaps she had a
sister too. may be her parent stayed in Parsi Colony nearby, I have no
idea since about 30 Yrs have passed I last heard that she planned to
join TCS in Mumbai. I would much like to know how she
is doing in life ,married or not, if yes ,to whom, how many children,

Case #200 (Posted June 28, 2009)
Greetings from Cape Town! My name is George Troupe and I am
a native of Kingston-upon-Hull in East Yorkshire, England.
I went to Hull College of Technology 1963-1965 and had three Parsi
friends at the college, namely Sam Kapadia, Danny Rustomji
and Pilloo Medhora. When I went to sea in the U.K. Merchant Navy in
July 1965, one of my first stops was Bombay and I met their families who all
stayed in Cusrow Baug. I became particularly close friends with
Pilloo Medhora who also went to sea in the mid to late 60's. He
gave up the sea after a few years and I believe he married, living at 7
Shalimar Road, Acton, W3, West London. I stayed at sea for 30 years but I
lost contact with Pilloo around 1970. I did a Google search for his name and
it came up with a Pilloo Medhora living in Pinner, Middlesex which is West
London so it could be him. Maybe he moved house to the next suburb. It was
an entry on a sports page called 'the 4th game' dated the 25th January 2007
but I cannot find anything more recent. I cannot find a telephone number for
him in the on-line UK telephone directory so perhaps he just has a cellphone.
This is the web page entry "Name: Pilloo
Medhora Location: Pinner - Middx. Sam
already knows playing at Emirates is looking at 3 Nil drubbing, what goes
round comes round!" I would very much like to get in touch with Pilloo
again. As I am now 62 years old, Pilloo will probably be around 68.
Possibly he has Parsi friends who frequent your website. Any assistance you
may be able to give would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Kind regards,
George Troupe Cape Town, South Africa. gtroupe@telkomsa.net

SOLVED (July 2nd, 2009)
Hi Ader, I trust this finds you well. I am very happy to tell you that a
gentleman by the name of Jimmy Bomanjee took the trouble to e-mail me
with Pilloo's details and we have made contact after some 35-odd years. It
just goes to show that real friendships never die, even if they go on hold
for a while! Living in South Africa (since the country came to it's
senses) it is perhaps of some significance that Pilloo is Asian and I am
European, but I found that in my 30 years of world travels, you meet some
wonderful people and have unforgettable experiences if you accept people
and things for what they are. Our differences, whether they be of race,
colour, culture or religion, should make us interesting to each other, not
be things of conflict. In the same way, here in Cape Town I have friends
of Indian & Pakistani origins, along with Africans of the Xhosa and Zulu
cultures. Adding spice to the mixture I also get chance to do volunteer
work with refugees from Zimbabwe, D.R. Congo, Rwanda, and job seekers from
Mozambique, Angola and Malawi. Cape Town is a real melting pot - a bit
like London I suppose! I have to thank you Ader for creating the means for
people to come together and I wish you continuing success with your
website. Kind regards - George Troupe.
gtroupe@telkomsa.net
Further Solved (July 9, 2009) Hi
Ader, Just a line to say that I got in touch with Pilloo
Medhora via Jimmy Bomanjee. As a bonus Jimmy also gave me
contact details for Danny Rustomji. I then received an
e-mail from Sam Kapadia whose daughter must have spotted my
above posting. I started out looking for one of my college
friends and ended up finding all three, thanks to your
website! Much appreciated, thanks very much - George Troupe,
Cape Town.

Dear friends who I shared a lot of laughter, tears and growing up years. We studied in the Fort Convent of Jesus and Mary in colaba in the 60s and 70s. They are married I am sure and the last time I had met them was in the late 1980s. 1. Nina Mehta now Nina Unwala lived in Brady's Flats, Sorab Barucha Road. Was in England after her marriage. Her parents: Freny and Feroz Mehta. Nina her sister anaita, and brother sharouk and I would spend the evenings playing in Khusro bagh where her grandparents lived. I cannot remember her grandfathers name, but we used to call him Jhangopapa. 2. Rhoda Rustomji I do not know her name after marriage. Lived down the road from the school and as far as my knowledge goes moved to America after marriage. Her mother if I remember correctly used to have workers who used to embroider sarees from her home. One of my wedding sarees was embroidered there. I know Rhoda has an older sister. 3. Tanaz Boywala I have no idea if she married, I know she was Rhodas first cousin and lived in the same building as Rhoda. The name of the building eludes me but I can see it in my minds eye. She worked for AirIndia for quite a while. Her mother was Rhodas fathers sister. She too had an older sister. Name eludes me.It would be nice if I could get email ids/addresses or phone numbers, to enable me to get in touch with them.

Case #196 (Posted May 24,2009) Hi Ader, Thanx
a bunch for the great job you do, a few words can't substitute my gratitude
towards you. A wonderful thought at getting people together. At least
someone uses the internet to benefit a small community like ours. I was
hoping to find an old pal of mine from J.N. Petit Technical High
School, Poona (now Pune). His name happens to be Aspi
Marolia, as per the info I had was that his parents lived in
Baharin, but he studied in Poona in mid 70s,
and later even when we were in Bombay we had known our whereabouts but
around 1989 or 1990s I lost touch with him. Another person I am looking for
was a great pal from Gamadia Boys Hostel during the late 80s
he was with us and his name is Jamshed Sanjana, heard that
he had moved to the US, but has disappeared from the face
of the earth since then. Would be great to get in touch with both of them
and would highly appreciate your help in that. Get back to me if possible
with some news. Thanks Ader, good luck hunting them. Truly,

I did something wrong and therefore, am writing this to you. I am searching
for a classmate named Ruby Tumboli (maiden name). We graduated from
Nazareth Convent, Ooty in 1974. I have very little information on her
except remember something about her family owning a cinema theatre named
Tamboli Talkies, perhaps in Jalgoan, Maharashtra.
I am also searching for another school friend named Dilnavaz Mehta
(maiden name). However, she was much my senior and graduated from the same
school around 1969 or 70. Somewhere down the line we heard that she was in
Canada. If anyone can shed some light on these two
individuals, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help and

Hello Ader,
Thank you for your generous work with this site. I am looking for my

think above Kaysons/Kala Niketan sarees stores). She did get
married, but I can not recall her married last name. We attended classes
for the Institute of Company Secretaries of India at Sydenham
College around 1986, 1987. I have lost touch with her for a long

Case #193 (Posted May
10,2009) Hello! I
hope you can post this on your website. I am a 27 year old male living in
Sydney, Australia and have spent the last 5 or more years building my
family’s family tree – I have it going back to the early 1700s in Bombay and
Ahmedabad. I am trying to complete a family tree for my wife’s family and
whilst I have a lot of information, I am missing one part of it. My wife’s
name is Rakhshandeh Appoo, nee Hira. Her
family is from Karachi. However, her maternal grandmother,
Nargiz Patel’s mother – Putlibai Anklesaria was from Bombay
and therefore my wife’s maternal grandmother (Nargiz) knows very little
about her mother’s family. I am looking for any information on
Putlibai Anklesaria’s family. The information I have is that her
father was Dadabhoy Anklesaria (1866 to 1941), and her
step-mother was Najamai (her birth mother died very young).
Putlibai had 4 half-brothers who’s names were Godrej, Padam,
Dhunjibhoy and Nadrishah. Dadabhoy (the father), owned a famous furniture
shop on the main street in Pune. Godrej owned a large fruit orchard
in Pune and was married. He was born in approx 1898 and died in 1972, and
apparently had no children. Nadrishah was a famous
physician from Bombay and died in a motor cycle accident. He was born in
approx 1900 and died in 1928. He was never married. Padam
was borh in around 1900 and died in 1956, and was an Instructor
General at the Police Training Institute at Nasik, near Poona. He
settled in Bombay after marriage and apparently had no children.
Dhunjibhoy was the only brother to have a child/children. He took
over his father’s famous furniture shop on a main road in Pune. Apparently
this furniture shop is still around but has been locked for years. He was
married and had at least 1 child. I am looking for any info on this family.
I believe the only living members would be possibly Dhunjibhoy’s
child/children and grandchildren etc. The biggest lead I have is
that they had a furniture shop on the main road in Pune. Hope
you can help! Thanks, Zubin Appoo

following mail from a friend of mine asking for help to locate someone.
The details are as follows. Would appreciate if you could help. You could
reply to Clare Lashkary on the following email address, if Aban Mundroina
is located.
clareen02@yahoo.com Many thanks. Viraff Coorlawalla.
"The friend I am talking about is Aban Mundroina
who studied with me in an
art school in Pune - Abhinav Kala Vidyalaya. She used to live in
Cantonment area in an old, appartment style house at the end of
Main-Street, not far from Cantonment
Veg- market. Her father Jamshed worked as a
sales-person at Dorabjee's, her mom worked in
Hotel Blue Diamond.
She has a sister Veera and a brother Rohinton who's the youngest in the
family. Aban's husband, Khusroo Wadia was her childhood friend from
Byculla-Mumbai. They got married in '76 or '77 I'am not sure. I
never saw her again...she was full of mischief but a very nice human being
and I used to visit her house quite often. Wonder where she is ? I
looked up People-Search, alternating names/surnames but came upon a "Aban"

Hello Ma'am, came across your query on TheMissingParsi.com I am an
avid follower of the website and i saw your particular query for a certain
Aban Mundroina. Firstly... i looked around a bit on the
internet and i found Veera Mundroina's number -932380XXXX.
If she is the same Veera who you mentioned as a sister of Aban then you are
lucky. Secondly ...and the best part...i found a certain Aban Wadias
profile on Facebook via Veera Munudroina's profile - i think she is
the Aban khusroo Wadia you are looking for
http://www.facebook.com/people/Aban-Wadia/1044488396.
Hope this is helpful.
(Mr Gandi - Your website rocks - i am not a Parsi but i have been in company
of a parsi friend since childhood hence the affinity :) Martina.

Hi Armity,
I just stumbled upon the missing parsi website n saw your request hence
this e-mail…. I have been living Bahrain for the last 3 to 4 years while
my husband has been here for 13 years now….. I do not know Yasmin
personally but am aware that they visited Bahrain last year with their
mom’s ashes. Her last wish was to rest next to her husband who has been
resting at the Aramgha here in Bahrain. I do think that one of our parsi
friends who have been here for a longer time will have some contact info
for Yasmin but I could not reach them…. I promise to get back to you
soon with some details. As of now I am told Yasmin is living in Dubai…
in case that helps! Best regards, Navaz

I know is that she is the daughter of Viloo and Jal Marolia of

Ader,
am marking a copy of this mail to you so you get to know of another
case hopefully solved (“,)… To you both Ader and Armity……..I would
like to share something with you both…. I have over the last 2 to 3
months, just by sheer coincidence bumped into one school on facebook
and one after another we are about 15 of us who have found each other
and are having a “e-reunion” as we call it…… I think back as this
having a connection to me helping Armity get in touch with Yasmin in
April …… in one of my mails to Armity (not sure if you remember Armity)
I had wishes that some day I find some school friends I had lost touch
with just as you had manages to find Yasmin….. I just realise my wish
came true…. Guess it was Armity’s good wishes that helped…. Thank you
Armity (",) Keep the good karma going around Ader. Cheers, Navaz Case #179 (Posted March 4, 2009) Hello, Ader just browsing through your website.

His mother Mr.s Meher Dhondy used to write for journals and magazines. Darius's brother Navroze is based in Delhi as CEO of Creatigies communication. I tried sending mail to Navroz as well . So far I have been unsuccessful in locating him. Even Face book has not helped me in locating him. I do not know anything about his present status. I tried looking up in the directory of THE PARSIS.

I am very happy to tell you that a gentleman by the name of Jimmy Bomanjee took the trouble to e-mail me with Pilloo's details and we have made contact after some 35-odd years. It just goes to show that real friendships never die, even if they go on hold for a while! Living in South Africa (since the country came to it's senses) it is perhaps of some significance that Pilloo is Asian and I am European, but I found that in my 30 years of world travels, you meet some wonderful people and have unforgettable experiences if you accept people and things for what they are. Our differences, whether they be of race, colour, culture or religion, should make us interesting to each other, not be things of conflict. In the same way, here in Cape Town I have friends of Indian & Pakistani origins, along with Africans of the Xhosa and Zulu cultures. Adding spice to the mixture I also get chance to do volunteer work with refugees from Zimbabwe, D.R. Congo, Rwanda, and job seekers from Mozambique, Angola and Malawi. Cape Town is a real melting pot - a bit like London I suppose! I have to thank you Ader for creating the means for people to come together and I wish you continuing success with your website.

Case #165 (Posted January 3, 2009) Hello, What a wonderful website, just reading through the pages brings back so many memories. I grew up in Nariman Building across from the Cooperage bandstand which used to be Wadia House and was owned at one time by my dad Homi Wadia who passed away when I was a child. My grandpa was Sir Bomanji Wadia who was the chief justice of Bombay during the British raj. In the early 80's, I moved to the States. I am trying to locate an old school friend from Cathedral school called Perzon Zend. Perzon and his family lived in a multi colored building at the end of the road where Campion school is. I remember there being some kind of Navy facility across from the building. One of the roads of that intersection lead to Colaba causeway while one lead to the road where fort convent school and a beautiful church used to be. The other road went out in the cuffe parade direction. Perzon would now be in his mid to late forties. He had an older brother called Zorast and a younger brother. They lived with their dad in this multicolored building whose name evades me. Your help in getting us re-united would be much appreciated. I now live in the San Francisco bay area where I work in the IT field. Best regards, Khushru Wadia |
